The flowering period of the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis is relatively long, and it can generally last for two to three months or even longer. This mainly depends on several factors.
The growth environment has an important influence on the flowering period. Under suitable temperature, humidity and light conditions, the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis can fully display its beauty, and the flowering period will be correspondingly prolonged. If the environmental conditions are not good, the flowering period may be shortened. In terms of temperature, the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis is suitable for growing in a relatively warm environment, generally between 18℃ and 28℃. Too high or too low temperatures will adversely affect its growth and flowering period. During the flowering period, maintaining a relatively stable temperature is particularly important to avoid sharp fluctuations in temperature.
Humidity is also one of the key factors. The Green Crystal Phalaenopsis likes high humidity, generally around 60% to 80%. You can increase the air humidity by spraying water, using a humidifier, etc., to provide a good growth environment for it. Light also plays an important role in the flowering period. The Green Crystal Phalaenopsis likes scattered light and avoids direct sunlight. Excessive light will cause the flowers to fade and wither, shortening the flowering period. During the flowering period, it should be placed in a bright place but avoiding direct sunlight.
Secondly, the maintenance methods will also affect the flowering period. Reasonable watering, fertilization and pruning can prolong the flowering period of the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis. Watering should be moderate to avoid water accumulation. During the flowering period, the soil should be kept moist but not overly wet to avoid root rot. You can water according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil, generally watering once or twice a week.
Fertilization should be timely and in appropriate amounts. During the flowering period, some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used to promote the growth and opening of flowers. But be careful that the concentration of fertilization should not be too high to avoid burning the roots. Pruning is also an important means to prolong the flowering period. Timely removal of withered flowers and yellow leaves can reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote the opening of new flowers.
Although the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis is beautiful, it requires certain skills for maintenance.
The Green Crystal Phalaenopsis likes loose, breathable and well-drained soil. You can choose special Phalaenopsis cultivation soil or prepare the soil yourself, such as mixing bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, etc.
As mentioned earlier, watering should be moderate. When watering, the water should be poured on the soil surface and avoid pouring on the flowers and leaves. At the same time, pay attention to the water quality. It is best to use pure water or rainwater and avoid using tap water containing chlorine.
During the growth period, a thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every one to two weeks. During the flowering period, the frequency of fertilization can be reduced to avoid affecting the opening of flowers.
The Green Crystal Phalaenopsis likes scattered light and avoids direct sunlight. It can be placed next to the window or under a shade net to receive an appropriate amount of light. Maintaining the appropriate temperature and humidity is the key to maintaining the Green Crystal Phalaenopsis. As mentioned earlier, the temperature should be between 18℃ and 28℃, and the humidity should be around 60% to 80%. You can meet its growth needs by adjusting the environmental temperature and using a humidifier.
The Green Crystal Phalaenopsis is vulnerable to pests and diseases, such as aphids, red spiders, powdery mildew, etc. The plants should be inspected regularly. When pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken in time for prevention and control. Insecticides, fungicides, etc. can be sprayed, and biological control methods can also be adopted.
